What are the colors of carnations?

Originally carnations were only in different shades of pink. Plant breeders got to work and developed flowers in red, white, yellow green, pink, and bicolors/stripes/spots.

In 1996 Florigene (Australia) genetically engineered a "blue" carnation using genes from the petunia and snapdragon. There have been 5 blue-mauve carnations developed for commercial use.
